An *Unlikely* Love Story...

"Where do I begin 
To tell the story of how great a love can be 
The sweet love story that is older than the sea 
The simple truth about the love she brings to me 
Where do I start."

Andy Williams - "Where Do I Begin (Love Story)."

Where indeed.
Where do you meet the person who could become the love of your life?
It would be a complete stranger I'd keep seeing again and again until one day, conversation sparkled... We'd get to know each other more and more... Until we'd fall in love. I always imagined that it would be as if fate were pushing you both together.
But where?

For me, the most romantic place to meet someone is:

On the Train

Meeting someone on the way to work and falling in love, surely breaks the dreary routine - because it's something you wouldn't expect.

Except that I always expected it! Or at least, willed it to happen...

It never did.

At the Library

Imagine this: I'd be intensely stuck into one of my romantic books and as my eyes lift from the book I'm reading, I catch the gaze of a fellow book reader nearby, who appears equally engrossed in his book. We'd smile briefly, return back to reading, occasionally glancing at each other... Until one of us musters the courage to speak to each other, saying something totally charming and adorable of course.

I used to go to the library in the City a lot during my first year at University. Now it's getting re-constructed so cue end of dream for me! My dreams then transferred to the University library... Unfortunately, I never did fall in love with anyone hanging around the Nursing section of the library!

In School/University

I'm not going to lie. This didn't happen - not even a LITTLE bit! I went to an all girl Catholic secondary school and sixth form, followed by a nursing degree at University. I bade goodbye to my dreams of meeting my boyfriend before class, to pass notes together during lectures., to have someone to carry my books to and fro...

Nothing!!

And I swear, I'm not bitter, but it leaves me wondering...
Where?!

Cheating.

This one line from the movie 'Closer' pretty much sums it up for me:

"There's always a moment, "I can do this, I can give in to this, or I can resist it." And I don't know when your moment was, but I bet you there was one."

Is it worth it throw your relationship away?

I was also reading this blog on cheating: *click here* and the summary kinda goes like this: not cheating is a whole lot easier than cheating! With cheating, comes all the guilt, lying and sneaking around. Save yourself the hassle and do the honourable thing before hooking up with another person.

To sum up this post, you will most likely meet many people along your path of life, some you will get on with much better than others. Look out for that moment, there will probably come a time that you may get tempted...

Just try to make the right decision and do the right thing if you want to embark on another adventure with somebody else...

How To...

Deal with Jealousy

I can't deny it, I must admit that I'm a pretty jealous person.

It doesn't help anything!!

I hate being jealous, I can't stand feeling this way.

So how do you fight jealousy? (I google things.)

I read a post I thought was pretty useful, let me share:

1. If your boyfriend (or girlfriend) is going to cheat on you, then s/he is going to cheat on you, and there will be nothing you can do, short of locking him or her in an inescapable cell; likewise, if your boyfriend (or girlfriend) is not someone who would cheat on you, then he or she is not going to cheat on you. The decision to cheat is his/her own to make, and you ultimately have no control over his or her actions.

2. Therefore, all you can do is be best person you can be, and when in doubt, remind yourself that s/he has chosen to be with you for a reason. Jealousy will only weaken those reasons. If s/he wasn’t going to cheat on you in the first place, jealousy’s only going push him or her away, and if he or she was going to cheat on you, jealousy’s only going to hasten the process and lessen his or her sense of personal responsibility.

It helped a little.

But I still need to work on this. I guess you just have to accept that you can't really control what happens, you just have to let go and trust... Which is easier said than done.

But if it's not meant to be, then so be it.
